UCT helping to grow tennis

The UCT Tennis Club hosted some 123 primary school learners – hailing from local schools Rahmeniyah, St Mary's, Walmer Estate and Windermere – in April.

The daylong development exercise was hosted alongside long-time partner Growing Tennis, a development initiative run by Michelle Whitehead, founder and CEO of the Growing Sports Foundation Trust.

Over the past few years the two groups have joined forces, allowing UCT students the opportunity chance to coach the young tennis hopefuls.

"It's very rewarding," says student Bronwyn Jack (in picture, right back, with clubmate Stella Theron).
